I stayed during a cooler time of year (the one week in December when Bangkok isn’t stifling), so the 15 min walk from Ekkamai BTS wasn’t bad. Otherwise you will need to take motorcycle taxis or proper taxis. The positive is that the complex is off of Rama 4, which is a straight shot towards Sathorn in addition to other major Sois of Sukhumvit.
The listing makes it very clear that it’s not a hotel, which is a bit off-putting but then the expectations are low. The bed was incredibly comfortable. And I’d hang on the sofa watching Netflix after a day out. It’s a pretty small flat, maybe 20m2, so if you are 2 people with large suitcases between the two of you, might be a bit tight. Recommended for a solo traveler.
There were no tea towels in the kitchen, and no broom or vacuum (I broke something and needed to clean it up). When I messaged the host’s assistant, she said to just leave it. Fair enough but it would have been handy to have these items around.
I loved being near Thong Lo, with its numerous restaurants and cafes. It’s trendy and hip with a solid mix of locals and foreigners.
A decent find with a comfortable bed (my number 1 requirement for accommodation), and a price to match.
